Creative Mindfulness with Ven. Thubten Chöying

Mindfulness is a term used commonly now in our culture, but what makes something an authentic mindfulness practice? Join American Buddhist nun Venerable Thubten Chöying (Sarah Brooks) to explore how to practice mindfulness both as meditation and in everyday activities. An avid photographer, Ven. Chöying will describe how she integrates mindfulness with creative endeavors, and especially how to incorporate a compassionate motivation.

This public talk is suitable for everyone, with or without prior experience of meditation or Buddhism.
